Re: NetCDF java lib

Dear John,
I've been trying to use your NetCDF Java Library to read and sub- sample netcdf files and netcdf datasets into the latest version of Matlab, which I had success at. I've also been trying to read in HDF5 files, but to no avail. When I try and open the file I get the following: 

 nc = NetcdfFile.open(filename);
??? Java exception occurred:

when I import ucar.nc2.H5header and look at the methods available I only have the follow: 

Methods for class ucar.nc2.H5header:

I am using toolsUI-2.2.10.jar, I no pretty much nothing about Java - apart from it's taking a while for my head to get a handle on this object oriented stuff. Could you tell me whether I am doing the right thing (if you can from the limited info I have provided), or am I using the wrong *.jar, or may be some HDF5 files just can't be read?
1. im guessing a classpath problem, perhaps some classes or jars that are interfering? do you have other jars or classes in your classpath?
2. Look in toolsUI-2.2.10.jar and make sure that ucar.nc2.units.DateUnit is in the jar. 

3. Download a new copy of toolsUI-2.2.10.jar in case it got damaged.
4. otherwise, see if you can create a small program that recreates the problem and send it to me.
